Testimonials:

“In a world where many promise, but few deliver, CinePost has far exceeded my expectations. The results of the transfer were overwhelming. I had viewed the original footage, so I knew what you were starting with. Clean, vibrant images from 16mm footage that was stored in a dusty closet for over 55 years. “

“The DVD transfers look GREAT!!”

Rick S. from California

“The DVD’s arrived and I looked at them today. Another fantastic job”

Chris B. from Florida

“I have watched the DVD and my brother has watched the AVI file, and we are thrilled!”

Bettye M. from Texas

“I reviewed the tape today, and I’m pretty pleased. The Super-8 looks perfect, and the 16mm came out well above my expectations. I really expected to see very little of the scenery between the spiderweb cracks and bubbles, and the wetgate cleaned them up better than I expected. Some of the film actually had no visible damage at all!”

Derek G. from Michigan
